"I have a lot of experience in electricity-related areas so I am quite demanding and critical. Each time I have called Buckingham, scheduling was prompt and the techs were knowledgeable, accommodating and thorough. They arrived on time and in the most recent case came back quickly to resolve an issue that was not clearly their responsibility. I really like dealing with these pros and will recommend them to my neighbors."

"Nashden of Total Tech Solutions is the consummate professional. I selected him from Angis list or some other similar source (do not recall) to install a home theater system, both audio and visual... So, it was without a personal recommendation. As it turned out, I could not have been happier. He was on time, went right to work, and stayed on target until the project was finished. He was very patient, responded to all of our questions, and taught us how to use the equipment. He was extremely pleasant and a good listener. Highly recommended."

"Damon was terrific. He responded immediately, and came to the house within the week to install the conduit while he ordered the actual EV charge plug. He came back yesterday to finish the project, cleaned up after himself and all is great. Thank you Damon and Ajalon Electric. Will definitely use them again!!"

"Oh my goodness!! I would give these guys 10+ if I could. Their work was excellent. I called them to do the electrical wiring, etc that was required for a dishwasher installation where there had not been one before. Then I kept asking if they could do other things - like fixing four receptacles that didn't work, and to put a plug on a garbage disposal that just had straight wires on it, etc. They took care of every request with a smile. They even removed the cabinet for me, where the dishwasher was to go. Besides all that, they were so very considerate of our property. . .even asking before taking a paper towel from the roll. It's been a long time since we have hired someone to do work and were soo happy with all phases of their service. Their hourly rate was waay more reasonable than the most, and they were such fun guys. If you need an Electrician - L.WEBB Electric is the guy to call."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.
